UncutA cohesive album that is simultaneously Big Star-ish (but not slavishly so) and Chilton-like (but not depressingly so). [Oct 2005, p.98]
-
MojoMercifully, the venerable Big Star franchise emerges pretty much unsullied. [Oct 2005, p.108]
-
In Space is no #1 Record, but at its brightest, it is Big Star in every way.
-
A fairly enjoyable album as long as one doesn’t saddle it with expectations of being the next Sister Lovers.
-
Problem is, In Space isn’t a Big Star album. Or particularly good, for that matter.
-
BlenderIt sounds as bitter and cynical as most of Chilton's solo stuff since Big Star originally imploded. [Oct 2005, p.134]
-
Half the 12 tracks are risible throwaway genre and covers. The other half are, at best, extremely mellifluous Big Star tribute band songs.
